i think the reset shortcut nessus was talking is the last one voice when you press S or Power on the home menu.

@nessus
you are the boss so i guess the in next days i will love new dialog as the old one. just the time to metabolize new stuff.
i'm trying to figure out how works the shortcut system. as example how to point a folder to be opened from a home menù item. atm the result is that the shortcut, after i have selected the folder doesn't work.

Reset Skin Settings:
In Skin Settings window, press LEFT to go to the top menu, press UP again to access the Options Menu and press "Reset Skin".

You can do it the same way like before. Add the folder to favorites or create a smart playlist. Then you can select it from the "Choose Shortcut" select dialog.

That's for the Global background, although i am not sure if i will keep it. I might remove it completely and if anyone wants a different Global background he can replace the SKINDEFAULT.jpg in skin's extras folder. Thoughts ?

I would like an option to use random fanart as a global option (i.e. in all homescreen items). Right now to have this, you have to configure this in each item of the home menu right? The mimic skin has this option.

Also, I prefere the big icons for settings like your TLBB skin uses, I find it easier to navigate than the current one, but that's a personal choice I guess.

Yeah I think it makes the skin a tad confusing to have background options for each home menu item and then another menu for backgrounds. Maybe just simplify it with a single 'Global Background' menu option.

One thing I've noticed is that if I start kodi with bello without the home animation, the cpu is around 5%. If I enable it, the cpu rises to 13%. If I then disable the animation again, the cpu stays at 13%. Maybe the animation is not shown now, but it's still being used by the UI?

I was asking if is ok to remove the Global background options. I am not going to add another one. You can choose the Multi Image option in Custom Background skin setting and point to the folder where you have stored the fanarts, although like i say, i might remove completely the Custom Background options from Skin Settings.

That screen was made on demand by the TLBB Support because was more helpful to provide support to the customers regarding the Settings. It was not by design choice. I prefer Bello's layout

I am 99% sure that this is Kodi's thing. Did you try reloading the skin ?

Sorry but... no

I've just copy the skin folder to kodi.

Issue report:
- EPG Guide window: If you press "back" 2 menus are opening and collapse.
- The quicknav things doesn't work for me, no matter if they r enabled or not

I've modded the beta for my needs and removed the background vignette on the fullscreen music visualization window, because I have an Ambilight system running. The vignette nearly removes the ambilight effect Maybe you should add an option for it. On my rig the vignette will be only displayed when the player shows the info, the playercontrols or the music OSD is visible.

No problem, not really an issue and the more I thought about it, the skin is perfect the way it is.

Thanks for the report. Wil look at the EPG issue.
The QuickNav widgets they need some work although the ones regarding the local libraries (Recent, Recommended and Random) are working fine for me. Those who use extendedinfo script have some problems.

I will give a look in music visualization vignette and see. No promises though. Generally, i don't want to add options for every little custom thing.

Nessus, another couple small suggestions. The place where you put the selection to add a home menu item doesn't seem appropriate. There is an add button in each existing menu option at the bottom. Maybe have an "Add" button on the left pane of the window? Also, under weather the background option has the same things listed as the other menus. Is there a way to add conditional weather as an option there? I know you can access that option from weather itself but it would be a little more consistent to have that option in the background menu.

2 other issues:
- Smart playlist editor: The "save" button is out of function. Nothing happens.
- View "VideoWall Fanart": The scrollbar is "useless". It just jumps to next item. This is very painful for a huge library. I guess it has something to do with the layout and a "fake focus layout" would do the trick, if you know what I mean (invisible wraplist with 10 items in a screen and displaying the fullscreen item by using Containter(580).ListItem.Art(fanart) for example).

Thanks a lot ! Thanks to your file I was able to install it ! Thanks !
